  • This place is quite small, but it has good music. It's next to a bar, wher you can go to have a bite and a few beers. Quite close to the Menlyn Mall, it's worth going.

    Try a shirt and jeans. You'll never get it wrong this way!

  • Long Street is the place to be if you want to party in Capetown. It has different pubs, discos and places to eat something quick. Just walk around and go inside the place you find the best for you.

    No coat required, but capetonians do like to dress to go out. A shirt and jeans it's ok. Don't even think of going out with shorts and tank tops. Either you won't meet anyone or you won't be able to go inside the pubs.

    Cape Town docks: The docks

  • South Africa Page by africaking
  • I hear the Cape Town docks have had a new lease of life, not for shipping but for tourists, my dad used to work there when it was dirty and full of workers.

    They have bars and restaurants there and seems to be one of the good tourist places to go now.

    Hav'nt heard of any, but best to go smart, casual.

    Long Street has lots of interesting bars and restaurants. The most popular bar is called Jo'burg ( beer R9.00) with very eclectic music and dance floor. We also loved the famous Lola's Cafe with great African curry dish and stoned waiters ( always high when serving customers!).
    However, we spent most of our evenings at our hostel chatting with our new friends, especially the "Swaaziland girls" from various European countries studying in Swaaziland and our new friend from U.K.

    Keg & Galleon: Casual Drinks on the patio

    I think the Keg is really kind of a franchise of sorts, but they do offer some great beers including Castle Milk Stout which was my favorite dark beer I found in Africa. Since this tip is relating to nightlife, it was a nice place to go sit on the patio in Margate and watch people up and down the streets. It was also quite a surprise to hear hords of people singing Take me Home West Virginia by John Denver karaoke style across the street. :) They also did a rendition of Achy Breaky Heart. Really the last thing one expects to hear while sitting on the East Coast of South Africa.

    ..."The Keg is South Africa's most popular English Pub and Restaurant group. With over 40 Kegs countrywide and steadily growing, there is definitely a Keg near you. Offering something for everyone, the Keg is warm and friendly and serves up great food."

    I cannot remember now, but go see Robin Auld somewhere between Muizenburg and Fishhoek. This guy is a very talented musician/song writer. You will see his name on a sign stating, 'Robin Auld'
    If you like music, song writing, and live music Robin Auld is a must. He will capture you with his lyrics.

    Surf trunks a t-shirt and money for some beer and chips (french fries).

    We visited Moya Restaurant which I found most interesting. It has a real African theme in the motif as well as the waiters, waitresses, and bar people.
    It is a bustling place and reservations are necessary most times.

    There is a small bar overlooking a pit where a band was playing.

    A very entertaining place to go.

    I saw many in casual dress.
